HUAWEI P50 Pocket S announced

The HUAWEI P50 Pocket features a similar design to the regular P50 Pocket, but with toned-down specs to make it "affordable." Instead of using the Snapdragon 888 4G chip, the device is equipped with the mid-range 6nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G 4G chip.

It is a stylish premium mid-range foldable

Plus, instead of using 3 cameras at the back, it only has a dual-camera setup. The back cameras you will find are the 40MP f/1.8 RYYB main shooter and the 13MP f/2.2 ultra-wide-angle camera.

HUAWEI is also boasting that its foldable screen can withstand 400,000 folds and it was certified by SGS of Switzerland (folding screen mobile phone durability certification).
